It saves you time, and the marked up files minimize any confusion over your instructions. Just open the note with the image, and tap the Draw tab to access the drawing tools.

Ordinarily, you’d have to create a whole new document or email message to convey your comments. Or you get a screenshot of a webpage mockup that requires your feedback.

Say you get back from a meeting and you want to turn some of that whiteboard brainstorming into action items and share it with your colleagues. From here, you can jot down notes, draw a draft of a flow-chart, or doodle in the margins of your meeting agenda while your coworker blathers on.

This will prevent the iPad from mistaking your palm resting on the screen for digital input. If you’re using a stylus, you should also tap Palm Rejection from the ribbon and select the image that best resembles the way you hold a pen. To write notes using your finger or a stylus, tap the Draw tab on the OneNote ribbon and select a pen, marker, or highlighter, as well as ink color and thickness. OneNote for iPad’s Palm Rejection feature keeps your hand from smearing your writing.
